The RECCO rescue system is used by more than 900 rescue organizations, mountain rescue teams, ski resorts and helicopter bases around the world to locate victims in avalanches. Since 2015, RECCO also started the expansion of the system to become an all-year search and rescue system for the outdoors. RECCO AB was founded by Magnus Granhed in 1983 and is headquartered in Lidingö outside of Stockholm, Sweden.

RECCO® advanced rescue technology makes outdoor enthusiasts searchable to rescuers in case of an avalanche accident or when lost in the outdoors. The technology builds on a two-part radar system. Rescuers carry RECCO® detectors that send out search signals which are echoed by RECCO® reflectors, carried by the user. RECCO® detectors are used worldwide at more than 900 ski resorts and mountain rescue organizations in 32 countries. RECCO® reflectors are integrated into select apparel, helmets, protection gear and boots manufactured by more than 150 leading outdoor brands. RECCO AB was founded in 1983 in Sweden and is owned by its founder Magnus Granhed and the publicly traded investment company Traction AB (listed on OMX Nordic Exchange Stockholm).
